Why Choose Us
Here's the thing: Make.com is great for basic zaps, but it's like using a one-size-fits-all barbell in a gym full of unique athletes—it just doesn't flex with your CrossFit rhythm. At AIQ Labs, we build a custom AI workflow from the ground up, integrating your member app, scheduling software, and CRM into one seamless system you own outright. No brittle connections that break during peak hours. Think automated attendance logging that syncs with progress trackers, or AI-driven reminders for that athlete skipping mobility sessions. It's flexible, scalable, and built for your exact needs—like crafting a program that hits every muscle group without the fluff.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Retention-Driven Wins for Your Box
Boost Member Stickiness with Smart Automations
Boost Member Stickiness with Smart Automations: Picture this: An AI system that spots when a regular misses two WODs and auto-sends a personalized invite to a makeup class, complete with their favorite benchmark stats like recent deadlift PRs. We've seen CrossFit boxes like yours cut churn by 30% in just three months—no more guessing who needs a nudge to get back under the barbell.
Streamline Operations Without the Subscription Headache
Streamline Operations Without the Subscription Headache: You're probably thinking, 'Another tool to manage?' Not here. Our custom build replaces Make.com's monthly fees with a one-time investment in a system that handles QR check-ins for morning WODs, auto-payments synced to class attendance, and inventory for barbells or yoga blocks—all in one intuitive dashboard. Save $6,000 yearly and focus on coaching form, not endless clicks.
Scale Your Community with Flexible, Owned Tech
Scale Your Community with Flexible, Owned Tech: As your box grows from 50 to 200 athletes, off-the-shelf limits hit hard—like rigid zaps that can't handle custom challenges such as seasonal mobility workshops. Our solution adapts: AI forecasts class demand based on weather or competition seasons, like prepping for the CrossFit Open, ensuring you never overbook. Let's be honest, owning your tech means no lock-in, just pure growth potential for your wellness community.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were glued to Make.com trying to link our WOD scheduling with payments, but it kept glitching during 6 AM rush hours. Now, our custom system auto-checks in members via QR codes and flags overdue dues instantly— even syncing with their latest squat PRs. Retention jumped 22% last quarter, and coaches finally have time to spot lifts and build technique."
Sarah Jenkins
Head Coach at IronForge CrossFit
"I was skeptical about ditching subscriptions, but their build integrated our athlete progress tracking with personalized email nurtures perfectly. One member got a tailored mobility plan after missing three consecutive yoga flows, and she's back stronger with improved shoulder stability. Saved us 10 hours weekly on admin, and no more surprise fees eating into our plans for new kettlebell classes."
Mike Rivera
Owner of Apex Strength & Wellness Studio
"Make.com worked for simple stuff, but not for predicting no-shows to our HIIT classes based on attendance data. AIQ's AI now analyzes patterns—like dips after tough benchmark days—and sends targeted group invites for recovery sessions. We filled three extra classes per week, adding $2,500 in revenue without hiring more instructors, all within our first two months."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom system differ from Make.com for my CrossFit gym?
Make.com shines for quick, no-code zaps, but it's limited by templates that don't adapt to the unique flow of a box—like handling variable class sizes or athlete-specific progress nudges. We build a bespoke AI workflow tailored to your operations, integrating deeply with tools like your CRM and scheduling app. For instance, it can auto-generate recovery tips based on a member's last heavy lift, something rigid platforms can't touch. You own it all, no monthly fees, and it scales as you add locations. We've helped gyms reduce admin time by 40%, letting coaches focus on form checks instead of spreadsheets. It's like upgrading from stock weights to custom plates—perfect fit, endless adjustments.
What if I already use other fitness software—can you integrate it?
Absolutely, integration is our specialty. Whether you're on Mindbody for bookings or Wodify for tracking, we create secure, two-way connections that make data flow effortlessly—no more manual exports. Take a typical scenario: A new member signs up via your website; our AI enriches their profile with goal data, syncs it to your app, and schedules their intro class automatically. Unlike Make.com's superficial links that break with updates, our custom code ensures reliability, even during high-traffic Open seasons. We've done this for 30+ boxes, cutting integration headaches and boosting data accuracy to keep your community engaged.
How much does a custom AI workflow cost compared to Make.com subscriptions?
Let's be honest—Make.com might start cheap at $20/month, but scaling to full automations for a gym quickly hits $100-500 monthly with add-ons and limits. Our custom builds are a one-time investment, typically $10K-25K depending on complexity, but you own it forever—no recurring fees or lock-in. For a CrossFit box, this pays off fast: Automating retention flows alone can add $5K+ yearly revenue from fewer drop-offs. We break it down in your free consult, showing ROI based on your member count. Think of it as buying a durable rig versus renting shaky bars—upfront cost, lifelong strength.
Will I need tech expertise to maintain the system after launch?
Nope, that's the beauty of our approach. We design it so your team—coaches and admins—can handle day-to-day tweaks via an intuitive dashboard, like rescheduling a class with one click. No coding required. For deeper changes, like adding new AI features for competition tracking, we offer optional support packages, but most gyms run independently. In one case, a client adjusted their member nudge logic themselves after our two-week training, saving hours on manual follow-ups. It's built for busy box life, not IT overload, ensuring you stay agile without vendor dependency.
How quickly can I get this custom system up and running?
From discovery call to live system, we're talking 6-8 weeks for most CrossFit setups—faster than you think. Week one: We audit your current pains, like booking overlaps. Then, 4-5 weeks of building and testing with your data. Final week: Training and soft launch during a quieter period. We've rolled out for a gym mid-summer surge, automating check-ins flawlessly by week 7, which immediately freed up front-desk time. It's phased to minimize disruption, so your WODs never skip a beat while we craft something that fits your rhythm perfectly.
Is the system secure for handling member health and payment data?
Security is non-negotiable in fitness, where you're dealing with sensitive info like injury histories or payment details. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with GDPR and HIPAA where needed, using secure APIs that go beyond Make.com's basics. Data stays in your owned system, not scattered across rented clouds. For example, we anonymize progress stats for group insights while protecting individual privacy. Our audits ensure no breaches, and we've secured systems for boxes tracking thousands of lifts without a hitch. Peace of mind means you focus on building community, not worrying about leaks.
